Students will make a milk carton infographic about/advertising their own lives.
What are the planning steps?
-Students will brainstorm to develop a personal narrative
-Students will outline with a teacher-made graphic organizer
-Students will design the layout for the milk carton
What are the production steps?
-Students will play the role of photographer (take close-up pictures of students' individual faces).
-Students will create a personal narrative, which will eventually be typed
-Students will decide which information to include in the final production stages (the actual faces of the milk cartons). Students will do this by selecting two paragraphs that accurately represent themselves.
What are the revision steps?
-Peer-editing
-Teacher editing
-Photograph re-sizing
-"Cleaning up" the project, in a visual sense
Students could analyze models or examples from media like:
1.) article: "Using Milk-Carton Ads to Build Strong Brands" from New York Times (edited by me for appropriate content)
2.) TV "milk carton" ads for missing children. Students will essentially be creating a milk carton ad that advertises they have been "found." The connection students will make is that they are secure in knowing who they are and they are able to choose words that accurately represent that self-confidence.
3.) Graphics of ads on the sides of milk cartons today
4.) Personal narratives posted online
They would need to learn how to:
-Advertise their lives in a way that is extremely descriptive
-Express self-confidence through writing
-Edit photos on a PC
I would need to learn how to:
-Edit photos using a program other than Photo Shop
-convey the "found" idea appropriately
Who do I know that can already do some or all of these things?
